Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Research has shown that behaviors a person usually suppresses or inhibits may be performed more readily under the influence of a model. This phenomenon, called disinhibition, refers to the weakening of an inhibition or restraint through exposure to a model.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Verbal modeling can induce certain behaviors, as long as the activities involved are fully and adequately explained. Verbal instructions are usually supplemented by behavioral demonstrations, such as when a driving instructor serves as a model performing the behaviors involved in driving.
